    "When we began discussing audio projects to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead back in 2012, we knew we wanted to do something completely unprecedented. We could think of nothing more exciting or ambitious than a career-spanning overview of the band's live legacy focused on what best tells the story: complete concerts. Our first criterion was the very best live music to represent any given year in the band’s history. We wanted to make sure that there were not only the tent-pole shows that fans have been demanding for decades but also ones that are slightly more under the radar, but equally excellent. For those who listen to the entire box straight through, chronologically, the narrative of the Grateful Dead's live legacy will be seen as second to none in the pantheon of music history." - David Lemieux

    We are more than pleased to announce the Grateful Dead's most ambitious release ever: 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN. Available as both an 80-disc boxed set and a custom lightning-bolt USB drive, the collection includes 30 unreleased live shows, one for each year the band was together from 1966 to 1995, along with one track from their earliest recording sessions in 1965. Packed with over 73 hours of music, both the boxed set and the USB drive will be individually numbered limited editions.

    The 80-disc boxed set is individually numbered and limited to 6,500 copies, a nod to the band’s formation in 1965. Along with the CDs, it also includes a gold-colored 7-inch vinyl single which bookends the band’s career. The A-side is “Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)” from the band’s earliest recording session in 1965 with the B-side of the last song the band ever performed together live, “Box Of Rain” recorded during their final encore at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9, 1995.

    The box also comes with a 288-page book that features an extensive, career-spanning essay written by Nick Meriwether, who oversees the Dead archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz, along with special remembrances of the band submitted by fans. Also included is a scroll that offers a visual representation of how the band’s live repertoire has evolved through the years.

    The USB drive version* will be shaped like a gold lightning bolt with the Grateful Dead 50th anniversary logo engraved on the side. The drive includes all of the music from the collection in both FLAC (96/24) and MP3 formats and is an individually numbered limited edition of 1,000 copies. Digital version of the book also included on USB.

    Shows will NOT be sold individually on CD. This release is sure to sell out quickly so pre-order your copy today and stick around as we will be revealing a mighty fine selection of music, art, and much, much more right here.

    (Looking for a smaller 50th Anniversary commemorative keepsake? September 18th will see the release of a four-CD version of the collection titled 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY 1965-1995. More on that here.)

    I couldn't agree more about the best way to learn about new music and broaden one's listening horizons. Hope others chime in here with what they are currently listening to. Oh and I liked your HFH suggestion for what to do with a large collection...

    You raise a very good question Paul; we have very a similar scenario and I too wonder where my vinyl/cassette (almost exclusively live recordings)/CD/digital collection will all go. Seems a shame to think it'll wind up in a dumpster. A library interested in expanding its volumes is what I always come back to, yet before too much longer it's conceivable none of my collection will be easily played. And then there's the subjectivity of my collecting...i.e. my tastes are not everybody's so why should it be kept together after I'm gone? Probably the best thing to do is digitize what you think you will listen to over the next many years and start selling the physical collection. Might as well recoup some of your financial investment. Presumably your time (listening) investment has long since been amortized by your ongoing enjoyment.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm in my 50's with 4000+ CDs and more box sets than most people have single CDs. I'm keeping an eye out for any nieces or nephews or any family member who shows the same music obsession as I do. If not I'll request it be sold and the proceeds be donated to Habitat For Humanity or any other worthy cause.

    I am no expert, but I too believe the 10/2 physical address double check bodes well for shipping this week. I believe as others discussed several weeks back, that a huge bulk shipment is what they are after; to help keep shipping charges down. I believe after 10/2 they started printing shipping labels in bulk and are affixing them right now. I think pallets of boxes should start going out the door soon. I know one thing, I do not know much...

    Thanks for the recommendations. I have the 1st 'The Word' and have really enjoyed it. Ryan Bingham and Rhiannon Giddens w/wo CCD have been on my purchase list but I haven't bought either so far. I'll look into 'Heartless Bastards' and 'Africa Express' will be on my purchase list now as well since anything with Eno is, at the very least interesting. I've always found the best way to hear of new or unknown music is to ask others vs. radio or other media.

    Paul, I am a "Euro-deadhead" as you, and I ask myself exactly the same issues as you.I own almost all official productions of the Grateful Dead, and many other music (jazz, rock, African music, French music, classical music ...). Often I wonder what all this will become when I am no longer on this Earth. What will become of Europe '72 box, with the book of the box in the last pages which my name is in the "special thanks to"? Today I do not know anyone around me who would be interested in this collection patiently and lovingly grown over the years.

    Thanks, Mr Frampton. I do indeed have a coupla 2T external discs waiting for the day I have the time - or seven dwarfs - to rip 'em all! As for the music store option, fuhgeddaboutit: I recently did a triage and took a shitload of reject CDs to a store here in Paris (where I live) to sell them on. They took about five per cent of them for something like one euro each and sent me back home with the rest. They want Rhianna or One Dimension or Johnny fucking Hallyday or some goddam French rappers. No taste here. Name me one Frenchman who listens to Gillian Welch (as I am doing as we speak). Now, if I can only rip 'em all before that catch-colt draws the coffin cart, someone - or some worthy cause - is going to get a really nice gift in a small package!

    Yep grabbed the DaP16. Had to, can't wait to spin it. I now have at least 1 year of new things to listen to, even if I make 2 shows a weekend. What a darn predicament. As far as Curb Your Enthusiam, I have seen a few episodes. Just got in on the Amazon Prime sale 2 weeks ago, and plan to start streaming some of the shows. I mean, that, and the free 2 day shipping is a dream come true for money saving.

    Here – as I await another 80 CDs of music from the Lost Boyz and wonder how to rearrange my shelves to show off Boxzilla – is a left-field question out of thin air… Bear with me: would be interested to hear your views. I have a moderately large collection of music (almost 2000 CDs plus a whole bunch of vinyl and some virtual stuff). I've never been a taper or tape exchanger but I have pretty much all GD official releases. My first Dead show was in '70: I'm a Euro-Deadhead so I caught 'em in '70, '72 (a lot), '74, '80, '81 and '90. As a whole my music collection is pretty wide-ranging and contains all the good shit from Early Mediaeval through Bach and Mozart to Smithways folk, the jazz and blues greats and rock'n'roll, right up to good "newer" artists such as Wilco, Ryan Adams, Mercury Rev, War On Drugs, The National etc….with a lot of Motown, country, "Americana"… You know what I mean…it's not rubbish. No Abba. So here's my question: I'm in my sixties now. My wife and music? Meh. My teenage daughter? She has a good grounding - loves the Beatles, Stones, Bach and Beach Boys she was brought up on - but now listens to that horseshit and rap that teenagers listen to. So what am I going to do with this fabulous and lovingly compiled collection when I'm dust? I mean, hey, I may live another twenty or thirty years (although looking at the world sometimes I hope I won't) but the way I smoke and drink there's a fair chance I'll go Jerry's way. I don't ever want to think of this lifetime of music being dispersed to the four winds. What to do? Any ideas?

This offering from 30 Trips is a classic Bruce/Vinnie show! The whole fall 1990 tour really. For a band who just hired two new players this tour has some mighty fine moments. New York to the UK and more! Good stuff!
